I was effectively oncall 24/7 at my job at times in 2020.
I barely noticed the pandemic. I never strayed far from my computer. Also, yes, I tried not to drink much.
I certainly learned what my limits are. People think I am a pretty good engineer (not amazing) but what I am known for is being able to keep that level of performance up for a long time.
For my part, despite my reputation, I tried to quit a few times. Not the job, the company entirely. I have never cried at work, but came close once or twice after being up for days and unwinding from a big escalation.

- bluesnowmonkey 4y agoI think it’s a little disrespectful to resurrect someone’s comment they tried to delete. It’s their comment, and we don’t know their reasons for deleting it.
